Allotment Gardening by Bridgette Saunders
Bridgette Saunders is an experienced horticulturalist, planstwoman and lecturer. She runs courses on allotment gardening from her home in Brighton and teaches at City College, Brighton and Hove, where she enjoys inspiring her students to grow a variety of plants, both edible and ornamental.
Her book Allotment Gardening, published October 2009, deals with all aspects of the allotment ‘experience’. It is beautifully illustrated with photographs taken by Rhoda Nottridge, and by Bridgette herself, in her own vegetable patch and local allotments in and around Sussex and Norfolk.
It covers how to plan and design your allotment, whatever its size and aspect; considering the soil quality; what fruit, vegetables and flowers to plant; how to tackle pests, diseases and predators; and most importantly, what to do when – the seasonal calendar.
